Shares of Eli Lilly and Company LLY have declined 5.2% in the past month despite the company reporting robust fourth-quarter 2025 results on Feb. 4. Industry pricing concerns, rising competitive pressure in the diabetes and obesity market and broader equity market corrections have led to downward pressure on shares. Rival Novo Nordisk NVO recently cut prices of its semaglutide medicines, Ozempic for diabetes and Wegovy for obesity. The price cuts by NVO triggered investor concerns that Lilly may also need to cut prices of its widely used GLP-1 therapies, Mounjaro, for type II diabetes, and Zepbound for obesity. There are also some concerns that the global obesity market may not be as large as the previous expectation of around $150 billion due to pricing and competitive pressures. The drop in Lilly’s share price occurred after a very strong rally earlier, following the robust Q4 results and an optimistic guidance for 2026. So, should this be treated as a buying opportunity or a warning sign to stay away from the stock for now? To make the investment decision, let us understand the company’s strengths and weaknesses. Strong Growth of LLY’s GLP-1 Drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound Lilly boasts a robust portfolio of treatments for diabetes and other cardiometabolic conditions, with its cardiometabolic division emerging as the company’s strongest segment. This success is largely attributed to strong sales of Mounjaro and Zepbound. Despite being on the market for slightly more than three years, Mounjaro and Zepbound have become key top-line drivers for Lilly, with demand rising rapidly. These therapies account for more than 50% of the company’s total revenues. Mounjaro is the market leader in new prescriptions within type II diabetes incretin analogs in both the United States and ex-U.S. markets, while Zepbound also holds a leading market share in the branded obesity market with nearly 70% share of new prescriptions. In 2025, the drugs generated combined sales of $36.5 billion,...

That said, here are two profitable companies that balance growth and profitability and one that may struggle to keep up. One Stock to Sell: LeMaitre (LMAT) Trailing 12-Month GAAP Operating Margin: 25.9% Founded in 1983 and named after a pioneering vascular surgeon, LeMaitre Vascular (NASDAQGM:LMAT) develops and manufactures specialized medical devices used by vascular surgeons to treat peripheral vascular disease and other circulatory conditions.

Abram81/iStock via Getty Images A world at war. The United States and Israel are hammering the Iranian regime, and Iran has been lashing out at American assets and allies across the Middle East. Already, some experts are warning that the United States and its allies could run out of interceptors, which have proven crucial for countering Iran’s ballistic missiles. Before the dust even settles, you can expect the United States to begin replenishing its ordnance, and the effectiveness of drones on the battlefield will likely drive America to up the ante, buying new hardware and expanding capabilities. Against this backdrop, the First Trust Indxx Aerospace & Defense ETF ( MISL ) and Global X Defense Tech ETF ( SHLD ) both look like attractive stocks. I’ve been a proponent of SHLD for quite some time now, and while I still think it is a good ETF, as far as the Iran war and my rearmament theory go, MISL is the better bet, as it’s US-concentrated, while SHLD is globally focused. Thus, I’m ranking MISL a buy and SHLD a hold. America Will Need To Replenish Its Weapons and Interceptor Stocks The United States has been carrying out devastating strikes against the Iranian government. As of yesterday, CENTCOM has claimed that it has struck over 2,000 targets, and since then, attacks appear to be ramping up. Israel, too, has carried out hundreds (and probably a thousand-plus by now) of strikes. The American government, unsurprisingly, is rather mum when it comes to weapon stockpiles and how many specific weapons have been expended. A Heritage Foundation analyst reports that “Through 2023, the U.S. has procured roughly 12,000 Standard Missile-2s (SM-2), 400 Standard Missile-3s (SM-3), 1,500 Standard Missile-6s (SM-6), and 9,000 Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAM)—the principal VLS-launched weapons.” The report also notes, “Over that same time, it has expended at least 2,800 Standard Missiles and 2,900 TLAMs, leaving the U.S. with on-paper maximums of roughly 11,000 missiles in th...

Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK.A ) ( BRK.B ) is repurchasing shares of its class A and class B common stock under the company's long-standing share repurchase policy. Under the policy, the company buys back shares when they believe the repurchase price is below the intrinsic value, conservatively determined. BRK.B was trading 1.72% higher at $495.85 on Thursday before the U.S. market open. The company said its policy does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares. Shares may be bought in the open market or in privately-negotiated transactions, with the timing and amount of repurchases depending on the market prices of the stocks and market conditions, among other factors. Berkshire Hathaway said the buybacks may be discontinued at any time without prior notice, and the company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any disclosures. Additionally, the company reported that CEO Greg Abel has bought shares worth $15.3M. The CEO's trust, Gregory E. Abel Revocable Trust, acquired 4,301 class A shares of indirect ownership on Wednesday, a separate filing by the company showed. Each class A share is convertible at any time into 1,500 shares of class B shares, the filing noted. Last, Berkshire Hathaway repurchased shares of its own in May 2024, CNBC News noted. Normally, the company wouldn't disclose the start of the repurchases. "We felt it was important to communicate to our shareholders, our partners, our owners, with the transition of leadership," Abel told CNBC in an interview . More on Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

Ciena (CIEN) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.64 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.36 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.47 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 77.78%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this developer of high-speed networking technology would post earnings of $0.08 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.61, delivering a surprise of 662.50%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. Ciena , which belongs to the Zacks Fiber Optics industry, posted revenues of $1.06 billion for the quarter ended January 2023, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10.14%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $844.44 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Ciena shares have lost about 3.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 5.4%. What's Next for Ciena? While Ciena has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

编者按： 智能手机统治了过去十几年的数字生态，它是注意力的黑洞，是我们最私密的随身之物。但手机从设计之初就是为「人盯着它」而生的——它的全部逻辑，都止于屏幕。 AI 的需求却恰恰相反：它需要持续感知物理世界——见你所见，听你所闻，随时在场，而非等你解锁屏幕才醒来。 当 AI 真正成为一种基础能力，它迟早要从屏幕里破壳而出，寻找属于它自己的形状。这将是一个漫长的探索和演化过程。 「AI 器物志」栏目由此而来，爱范儿想和你一起持续观察：AI 如何改变硬件设计，如何重塑人机交互，以及更重要的——AI 将以怎样的形态进入我们的日常生活？ 没想到，在这个人人都在找下一个 AI 硬件的新时代，作为「旧时代」终端的电脑，却成为了今年开年最强势的 AI 载体。 原因无他——「龙虾」OpenClaw 更适合部署于电脑之中。 一时间，作为 OpenClaw 最佳容器的 Mac mini，成了这段时间最抢手的科技单品。全世界的开发者和极客，都争相想在上面部署一个自己的 AI 智能体，即使作用还不大，也想体验一把 AI 助理自动化办事的未来交互。 那么问题来了，为什么 AI 新时代来临之际，反而是电脑这个「旧时代」的终端成为了排头兵，而不是被寄予变革厚望，且人手一台的手机？ 电脑保留着「机器交互」的底层逻辑 道理其实很简单：比起一开始就为「人类交互」而生的手机，电脑一直保留着「机器交互」的底层逻辑。 还记得吗？在鼠标指针、图标、按钮出现之前，电脑只有「字符」，也就是所谓的「命令行」，黑底白字，闪烁的光标，因此只有少数能用「计算机语言」的人，才能驾驭这台机器。 随着多用户操作系统的出现、硬盘容量的提升等种种技术发展，计算机系统也需要相应做出调整，Unix 带来了树状目录结构的文件系统，时至今日仍在影响现代计算机。 而出于降低门槛、推广计算机的考量，图形界面最终应运而生，成为了现在我们手上的计算机系统的模样。 但值得注意的是，即使发展了数十年，图形化的 OS，依旧保留了「命令行」这一种交互方式，文件存储系统也成为了计算机使用、运行的根基，这和智能手机是相当不同的。 ▲ macOS 的「终端」 电脑，或者说「计算机」，一开始就是作为「生产工具」诞生的，完整的文件存储系统对于生产力来说不可或缺，而不少专深的开发工作都需要用到命令行。用户得到计算机后，要自己配置、选取甚至开发所需要的工具和生产环境，...

Getty Images Overview When I previously covered the CBRE Global Real Estate Income Fund ( IGR ), I issued a hold rating due to the questionable dividend coverage and uncertainty around interest rates. While the rest of the market sells off, real estate has seen a bit of a revival in the last few months. Additionally, IGR has released an updated annual report for the 2025 period, which prompted me to reassess the fund's value proposition, performance, and outlook for 2026. Looking at the performance over the last twelve months, we can see that IGR's share price has declined by nearly 7.2%. However, the fund has experienced some positive momentum over the last two months. When including all distributions that were paid out to shareholders, the total return jumps up to 7.5% over the same time frame. IGR now offers investors a starting dividend yield of 14.6% while issuing payouts on a monthly basis. However, I believe that the generous distributions are harmful to the overall sustainability of the fund. IGR would benefit from a distribution cut because it would help improve the NAV growth. Data by YCharts The recent rise in share price has resulted in IGR now trading at the higher end of its price-to-NAV range. Therefore, valuation is a bit tricky at this time since the underlying earnings haven't improved year-over-year. Although interest rate cuts may be a catalyst at some point, I don't think this is the best time for long-term investors to accumulate shares. So let's start by taking a look at the strategy that IGR implements to generate its earnings. Fund Strategy According to the latest fund overview , IGR has total managed assets of $1B that are spread across 81 different holdings. The fund's primary objective is to provide a high level of current income from a global range of real estate securities. However, the fund is unique because it combines traditional common stocks with preferred stock to achieve a blend of capital appreciation and income generation over ...

Best Buy (BBY) reported a surprise sales slump in its key holiday shopping season. Same-store sales declined 0.8% in the fourth quarter, the company said Tuesday. Wall Street had hoped for a 0.2% increase after two straight quarters of positive growth. "We continue to see customers who are resilient, but they are definitely deal-focused," Best Buy CEO Corie Barry told Yahoo Finance in a call with reporters. Best Buy expects first quarter same-store sales to return to growth, rising 1%. Barry said more than 50% of its customers make more than $100,000 per year. Revenue for the fourth quarter totaled $13.81 billion, less than the $13.88 billion Wall Street had expected, per Bloomberg consensus data. Adjusted earnings per share came in higher at $2.61, more than the $2.46 the Street predicted. Best Buy stock is down more than 30% in the past year, but popped up more than 8% in early trading. For the full year, revenue came in at $41.69 billion, just below the $41.76 billion Wall Street predicted. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $6.43, $0.12 above Wall Street's estimates for $6.31. For the year, same-store sales grew 0.5%, less than the 0.9% increase Wall Street was looking for. For 2027, the company expects revenue to come in the range of $41.2 billion to $42.1 billion, alongside same-store sales that are expected to fall in a range between a 1% decline and 1% rise for the year. Adjusted earnings per share are expected to be in a range of $6.30-$6.60. This year, Best Buy is also watching the rise in memory costs as heightened demand impacts supply. Barry said it's "something our industry has faced in different peaks and valleys relatively often through the past 25 years." She added that the team is pulling in inventory, trying to provide its manufacturers with longer forecast horizons, working to find the right price points for consumers, and educating them on what's available. The team expects strength in computing and mobile phones to continue into 2026, after...
